Musicians. Generally 'kers. -
Why would you want to gate?

There is no additional risk of a feedback as the ambient mic won’t be going into foh. There’s no way the ambient mic will be picking up any output from the IEMs. To be fair, setting up an ambient mic is pretty low effort.

To be clear - if the seal is broken, ambient or otherwise, there is a tradeoff in that you start to lose bass response. How much of that which is tolerable - but as a bass player, you probably won’t appreciate it. Best practice is to think along the lines, anything you want to hear, you pump in via the mix. There is a line of thinking that if you have a bass rig on stage, having that come in ambiently offsets the bass loss… but the goal is to keep stage volumes low so the mix the audience hears out front is better.

Absolutely. I'll pull it from the same place she pulled her claim.

A mime to Jeff Lynne's bassline! (who did the Wilburys bass work on both albums)

Also the biggest lie that she hasn't heard that before.

I doubt it. Mark King kept Status with an order list for years. As he did for Jaydee. Need a cash injection? Build Mark a new model... out comes the doctors and lawyers and their chequebooks.

Not a signature model... but they did do this for him - (it's probably hanging off some lamp post nowadays)

I've always had a soft spot for the violin bass. But not had the need enough to ever buy one. It would be an ornament. OK, I'd like that ornament... but you know, it's kinda a lot of money to have just sitting there. Not being 5 string rules it out. And it's not versatile enough for a one bass does it all for covers from various artists. For me, the J bass has always been the go to for that. Every other Hofner I've seen have been pretty meh, or just downright rubbish. And if you are going to do it, you're going to have to go German as opposed to the cheaper Ignition versions - which just don't look right compared to the flagships. Just been on Hofners site to read more about the Ignition basses... and had to smile when I read this - "Hollow body construction for the modern, deep-resonating Violin Bass sound." - Modern?! So when you look at it, pretty much the only thing going for them is the Macca link. Given Macca's age and popularity of that band - and fading interest (not saying they aren't popular, they just aren't as captivating to new generations), I'd say that if somebody hasn't bought a violin bass by now, they aren't. I hope they don't go under. But I do hope it gives them the chance the reinvent themselves to be more... vintage. How about a nice vintage 5 string violin bass? I'd be all over that. Anyway, have some Tom Petty pics -

Have you read the opening posts and understand how much experience I have in this domain...?

And there goes all your bass.

Completely agree. Apart from anything to do with Morrissey and The Smiths.
